To Thine Own Self Be True

In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Polonius gave some advice to his son Laertes befor leaving for France. He said, “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” I believe this is a true statement. […]

Who Am I?

The world is in a state of chaos and many of us are terrified. I, for many reasons, am not. Should I be? There seems to be so much at stake – our very freedom, our democracy, our very life in some cases. The fires in California brought home the impermanence of life. I am […]
